I've seen so many "this new battery technology" articles over the past decade, I can't bring myself to care until it enters production.

from the first paragraph of the article, it sounds like they share your feelings:

Battery technology is one of those areas that is getting a lot of promising research results but very little in the form of commercial products we can use to power digital devices, electric vehicles, or off-grid homes. That may soon change thanks to sodium-ion batteries that are safer, more durable, and cheaper to manufacture when compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries.
